Bakit kelangan sobrang lapit? "Open your eyes"- para naman akung, tuta na agarang sumunod sa utos niya. Pero nang pag mulat ko ng mga mata ko, bumungad sa akin ang mala tubig dagat niyang mga mata, matang kelan man ay hindi mo magagawang iwasan, matang parang nang huhukay sa kalob looban ng pagkatao mo, matang tatatak sa iyong isipan, para itong isang bisyo, nakakaadik at nakakaak-

Nabitawan ko ang cellphone dahilan para mahulog iyon sa mesa. Sumikip ang aking dibdib. I couldn't feel my body as I catched my breath. Haruto is shouting on the line but I couldn't hear him clearly anymore. Unti-unting nawalan ng hangin ang aking katawan dahilan para ako'y mawalan ng ulirat. I was afraid of death before, then I realized it was more scary to live without anyone by your side or someone you can hold on during hard times. While I am living, I was also dying. I will die alone and no one will probably know.

Ang kanyang mukha ay puno ng pasa, ang kanyang labi ay pumutok, pero ang kanyang mga mata—ang mga gintong matang iyon—ay nagniningas pa rin sa bagsik. "Vladimir…" sabi ni Ryella sa video. Ang boses niya ay nanginginig pero matatag. "Alam kong gigising ka. Alam kong hahanapin mo ako. Huwag kang lumapit. Ang 'The Eye'… hindi nila ako sasaktan. Kailangan nila ako. Pero ikaw… papatayin ka nila sa sandaling makita ka nila."

Those lifeless orbs screamed pain and agony that she had gone through before her life came to an end. He immediately felt his legs turned into jelly and the sides of his eyes welled up. His mind couldn’t grasp the situation nor process the scene in front of him. Life left his eyes and his heart stopped beating. Everything around him turned pitch black. He was blind for a moment, his ears couldn’t even pick up the sounds around him. He felt his world crumbling down and all the dreams he had planned for them had shattered into pieces.

Nang makabunot siya ay napansin kong napapaisip pa siya bago buksan ang mini microphone sa kanyang damit. “I don't have eyes, but once I did see. Once I had thoughts, but now I'm white and empty… who am I?” napalinga-linga ang inititiates na kaharap niya na tila humihingi ng tulong para makasagot siya.

Once I had thoughts, but now I'm white and empty…. who am I?” pag uulit nito at ibinulsa ang kapirasong papel.

those eyes. His eyes were a stormy kind of gray — like wet pavement after it rains, dark and hard to read. If you looked at them long enough, you'd see stories hiding in the silence. Not just sadness, but guilt. A kind of longing. Depth. 'Yun din ang mga matang dati'y nagbibigay ng katahimikan sa'kin sa tuwing parang ang ingay-ingay ng mundo. Hindi pa rin nagbago. Hanggang ngayon, para ka parin niyang nakikita kahit wala siyang sabihin. Speaking of lips—God. I hated that I noticed.

It's a close up picture so I can clearly see her beautiful set of ocen blue eyes. I scrolled down to see more of her pictures. Natigil ang aking mga mata sa isang picture niyang nakalusaw sa tubig habang basa ang kanyang katawan. Likod lang ang kita pero dahil nakita ko rin naman ang kabuuan ng katawan niya noon ay hindi ko mapigilang hindi mag-init. My mouth ran dry. Uminit ang paligid ko at nauhaw ako bigla. I looked at the bottles on the table but we have emptied them earlier.

Telling Aly to find herself a companion for the night would be too rude. She’s crying because of her cheating boyfriend. Of course, she wouldn’t be up to a one-night stand. Telling her that she distracts him and his lifestyle was also rude. At kailan pa isyu sa kanya ang maging rude? “Bawling your eyes won’t make things better.” “Alam ko naman.

He asked again, his voice carrying a forceful edge that demanded an answer. Her eyes were fixed on him, filled with fear and despair. Luke suddenly felt a sense of guilt at the sight of this woman, he momentarily questioned his actions. He didn't need to raise his voice, but the feeling of betrayal burned within him. As he stared back at her, he suddenly noticed something different about her eyes—something he hadn't seen before. They weren't the eyes of Ruby. Why hadn't he noticed that in ? It was the past?

"Lower your gun, Kuya North." Nakita kong mariin itong pumikit, matagal, at sa pagdilat nya ang walang buhay niyang mga mata ang bumungad sa amin, walang emosyon. Nakita ko ang bahagyang pagkunot ng noo nya, pagkatapos nilibot nito ang tingin sa paligid. Saka pa ito tila natauhan.
